Abstract
The paper offers a Russian translation of the portion of the “History of the philosophers” by Philodemus, available in two Herculaneum papyri (PHerc. 1021 and PHerc. 164), which deals with the history of the Old Academy (col. V–XVI, and some supplements). This important source, translated and commented in the article, highlights the most interesting biographical details of the heirs of Plato, Speusippus, Xenocrates, Polemo, Crates, and Crantor, whose activity ranges from 347 to 274 BCE.
